Bishop Barron’s YouTube Channel Reaches One Million Subscribers

In February 2024, Bishop Robert Barron reached a significant social media milestone: 1,000,000 YouTube subscribers. 

“The social media have exploded in range and popularity the last ten years, and the Church, broadly speaking, has found innumerable ways to use them for the sake of the Gospel,” Bishop Barron told the National Catholic Register in 2020. “This has been a tremendous boon to the Church and has aided our evangelical mission extraordinarily.”

Since posting his first YouTube video—a movie review of “The Departed”—in 2007, Bishop Barron’s channel has offered cultural commentary, weekly sermons, and reflections on the Catholic faith.

As of February 2024, Bishop Barron’s more than 1,500 YouTube videos have received upward of 200 million views.
